Last year we had the women's Ashes downunder, with Aussies sweeping the English ladies in all formats. 

 

3-0 in ODIs

3-0 in T20Is

1-0 in Test (won by an innings and 150 runs)

 

Going to be very tough for us !!!!

 

Indian origin lady, Alana King was POTS btw.

Women Test matches are meh tbh.. only Big 3 seem to play these one off contests.

 

ODI and T20s are soul of Women cricket

I enjoy women's tests because that is our strongest format. Some good tests for us in recent past, like that one in Eng where Sneh Rana had a rearguard with the tail. We demolished even Australia at home recently, and RSA, Poms but the Aus win was special. 

 

Men are anyway sucking at it, hope at least ladies do well.

Yeah I know our women tend to do better in tests.. just saying hierarchy when it comes to Women cricket is something like this ODI>T20>Tests..

 

We can win the ODI series this time around though.  T20 probably 0-3.

I will keep expectations realistic. If we win 2 matches in this tour, it will be a job well done, and better than what SEN can do over there.

Ok, I saw on wiki and it was written WACA. 

[nitinbwj]

Aus will come at Ind full force. I expect a thrashing.

[vvvslaxman]

First T20I starts.

[Gollum]

India Women have won the toss and have opted to field

 

The weather report says it should be good in the hours to come as the chances of rain is pretty low. But looks can be deceptive just like the Sydney Harbour.

[Gollum]

Sydney is another annoying place where it always rains during cricket matches. 

[Tillu]

Lost a review already. Deepti is so excited for nothing.

[Tillu]

Mooney gone. Need to get Georgia Voll.

[Tillu]

Only 12 lakh views on Hotstar.

 

Minnow matches are getting more views in this world cup.

[Tillu]

Georgia Voll gone after a brisk innings.

[Tillu]

Maiden over by Renuka.

 

Phoebe Litchfield couldn't get of the mark after facing 8 deliveries.

[vvvslaxman]
